Which resulted in my getting lost out in the woods one time, but I eventually found my way back. No thanks to the horse, who was more interested in snacking than in finding his way home. Everytime we got to a fork in the road and I'd ask which way, he'd go straight for nibbles along the edge of the trail. Not for nothing they call him Chunky.

OK, you ride a horse named Chunky... Too cute! Sounds like Buck in his desire for treats.

An hour and fifteen minutes though? That is a long hike! But it is worth it! Glad to hear you are still riding though.
